“I have been coming to Family Dog Naturals since they first opened in Leland. This is a true family owned local business who cares about their customer (both two legged and four legged) as well as the community. No surprise they have won the North Brunswick Chambers Business of the year twice in the last five years! They also provide tremendous support to local animal charities. I highly recommend them for your dogs and cats food, remedies and supplies!”

“Love this place. It’s where I get dog food. Clean prompt, very friendly. If they don’t have your food they will get it for you quickly. They make sure to only have the best of everything.”
– Ross Pitman
“I drive from Ogden to Leland to buy pet food. Yes – these guys are so knowledgeable about pet nutrition that it’s worth the drive. If my dog has any issues – from fear of fireworks/thunderstorms to a weak stomach they have a suggestion and so far what they suggest has been spot on.”
– Sue Rachunok
“Always friendly. If they don’t have it, you don’t need it. Lots of choices for your furry buddies.”

“Like alot of the B.F. village collective, neighborhood vibe, but moreso actually perfect in that lighting – particularly (by having absolutely friendliest ambience, time-saving experience), also improvement finding better quality food and supplements, affecting actual health, easing said cost of maintenance, careload expenses, etc.; basically improving living quality of my aging animals; keeping them active, able, even playful each and every day! Even during this holiday season: “gift socks” available during check out at the cash register! ASK FOR THEM!”

“This is the absolute best pet food store I’ve ever been to. They are so friendly and helpful and greet you by name. They have helped me try to find a food for my cat with kidney disease and have even given me free samples before buying a bag of cat food to see if my cat would eat it. This saved me a lot of money. The prescription diet recommended by my vet does not work; my cat won’t eat it. They have high quality food here and very good prices. Skip the chain stores that don’t care about you. These guys treat you like family.”
– Lore DeLaire
“Everyone who works here is so knowledgeable about what they do, love coming here for my dog’s food and treats knowing the ingredients are beneficial for them.”
– Olivia Kasdan
“Hands down this is the best pet store in the Leland/Wilmington area. Went in for a “collar of shame” and ended up leaving with not only that but a ton of knowledge, treats and chews. The owner was so friendly, passionate and helpful. Not only did she have just what I was looking for but made some really great recommendations. I love that almost everything (or maybe everything) is healthy for your pet and the prices are competitive – actually some of the food is even cheaper than amazon or chewy. The owner even gave me a complementary bag of food to try my puppy on, which I thought was so nice. You can’t get this kind of service at chain stores. My pup and I will be coming back very soon.”
– MC Santos
“Ever since our first visit to Family Dog Naturals the experience has been awesome! My husband and I were new in town and we just brought home our first baby German Shepard, Jada. The owners are very friendly, knowledgeable and all the staff is very kind too. Whenever we need anything for Jada, even advice, we visit the store with her because she loves the experience too of course!! Thank you for being there you guys, and for carrying top notch products for or pup!!”

“Betsy and Dave at Family Dog Naturals in Leland are the best. They are kind and compassionate about what they do. Because of them, Elvis’ life was extended by 2 years. He was eating real foods for the past 2 years and his health was never better. Dr. Harvey’s Veg-to-bowl is a miracle food and if you don’t know about it, you should check into it. Good food in = good health out. We should all learn from that. I’d also like to recommend Dr. Kerr at Wellspring Holistic Veterinary clinic in Wilmington. He was kind enough to open his office for me on Sunday evening at 8pm to help send Elvis across the rainbow bridge. Not one time did I feel rushed or insignificant. He was patient and kind and compassionate. He could have just sent us to the emergency clinic, but he did not. He also saw us on Saturday morning when he was fully booked to tend to Elvis on an emergency basis. If you have a pet and would like to explore the Chinese medicine/holistic approach to pet health, this is your guy. He also uses western medicine too so it’s not just limited to herbal medicines, but it’s a great alternative approach to good health.”

“These are some of the nicest people i’ve met. they just sat and talked to me about earth animal and various other products for 30 minutes so that I knew everything there is to know about them. they are letting me try out a powder and oil before purchasing the large product to ensure that both me and my dog like it. I will be coming here often for all of my pets needs! thank you guys ”
– Halle Pugh
“I love this store. I live on a 2nd floor and I couldn’t find a place to deliver dog food to my 2nd floor apartment, and we were running out of places to turn to. Thankfully, my mom asked them at this store if they did delivery, even to a 2nd floor, and they said yes. This store is truly our life saver because Dave delivered the dog food to my apartment earlier today, and said that they will bring it up again any time I need it and reorder more at the store….I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!!!!”

“If you live in LA, Family Dog Naturals Pet Food Store next to CVS in Brunswick Forrest has premium dog food priced lower than Petsmart & Pet Supermarket. The owner, Betsy, worked for a veterinarian for 15yrs, and she knows her stuff when it comes to pet nutrition and using a wholistic approach to animal care. I’m not a die-hard naturalist when it comes to medical issues, but I do believe that quite often, a natural approach works as well or better than a scientific one. So I’m not kicking my DVM vet to the curb (Dr Christy Redfearn at LaCroix Veterinary Hospital), but I’m definitely turning to Betsy for things like stomach upset, allergies, etc. In fact, my dog has had a stomach bug that I have had trouble resolving on my own, even using probiotics from my vet, but Betsy recommended a $5.99 pint of organic Goats Milk, which has nutrients, probiotics and prebiotics in it, and one serving fixed my dog up. So, in all, for Family Dog Naturals, I give it an A+.”

“I love this place. They are very in tune with what is best with pets and carry all natural products. They have introduced me to Acana Singles Food for my babies, which has worked wonders for them, Dr. goldstein’s HealthNuggets, and Himalayan Dog Chews. They care so much about your animals and what is best for them. I cannot say enough good things about them. Give them a try at least; you will see how much they care.”
– Niki Taylor Harris
“Only a couple of days after hurricane florence I visited family dog naturals because all of my pets food went bad without refridgeration. they didnt have alot in the store because they brought it to their home to keep it fresh, and without hesitation the owners offered to go get what I needed so that my dogs had their food. they genuinely care for their customers and their pets. Amazing store and even better owners. Thank you!”
– Kyle Leigh

“We adopted our fur baby in December & quickly realized that we are becoming the “parents” that want the best for our Sugar. So happy we stopped by today & got great advice on food. Absolutely amazing place & great customer service!!!! Can’t wait to bring Sugar in soon. P.S Sugar loves her toy Crocodile! Thanks for the samples of food & I can’t wait to try the hypo allergic shampoo.”

“I can’t thank you enough for all of the time you spent with me on Monday before my long drive with my high-anxiety dog. (The CBD oil you suggested was a miracle)! It is very apparent that you truly care about the animals and place a great deal of emphasis on educating your customers. I live in Northern Virginia but will continue to order from your store because it’s so rare to find stores with such great customer service.”
– Sue Edwards
“My boxer had been having stomach problems for months. The vet told us to give him Pepcid AC every day & if that didn’t work- bloodwork. The owner of Family Dog Naturals suggested goat milk. I didn’t expect a drastic change…but it worked like a charm! My baby feels so much better and loves his goat milk. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for healthier, natural alternatives for their pets.”
– Nicole Marie Cook

“We’ve been customers of Family Dog Naturals since they first opened and continue to be loyal to their business. Why is that you might ask, well it is pretty simple, we really like Dave and Betsy, they are great people. That being said, not only are they personable, very pleasant and just good all around folks, they truly care about you and your pet(s). Both are extremely knowledgeable on pet nutrition and go that extra mile to help ensure you are getting the correct food for your fur kid(s). It’s always a pleasure to frequent their store and I would highly recommend them to anyone that has fur kids to go see them.”

“Jordan Thomas came in Monday after getting some not so great news about Harley at the vet. The treatment option was extremely expensive and the side effects weren’t ideal. I called Betsy Gurewitz Head and she recommended a liquid supplement to go along with the supplements we already have him on…& today he is getting around like his younger self! He could barely stand, sit, or walk without help 2 days ago! Thank you Betsy for carrying the best products on the market and for knowing what we should use and why!”
– Melissa Martin

“Last week I walked into Family dog naturals feeling very sad because I knew that I could not take care of my Labadoodles, Reese and Skippy (due to a serious illness). I explained my situation to David and he was so kind and understanding about my situation and said that he would put an adoption notice on the site.When I walked out of the store I felt so thankful that there are people like David who enjoys helping people. I got a call asking about Skippy, and the family came to see him the next day. After talking to each other,the Olivers’ took Skippy home. The Olivers’ and I have been in touch with one another and I know, for sure, that he is in a good home.(the Olivers’ have a Labadoodle of their own, so they have a playmate and they are doing well) Thank you David for everything and thank you to the Olivers for giving Skippy a good home!”
